[Once the Major makes it to the bar (after, of course, shutting Solo up-- hopefully for good), he finds that there aren't any "drop-dead-gorgeous" heroes. There is, however, a man in camel hair. How... vintage. He offers his hand and smiles thinly]
Hello. Major Henry West. I, ah, believe you're the man I spoke to a few minutes ago?
[Gene, already swilling the sorry lager from the bottom of a glass, glances at the Major. A quick glare commences, until he finally draws his bottom lip up and gives a curt nod]
In the magic-journal-abob, yeah? [He pauses, then grasps the other man's hand briefly] Eyup. DCI Gene 'unt.
Yeah. The magic... thing. [Nods. He takes a seat beside him, takes a look at the lager, and decides to order a double of whiskey instead. Cold night like this, he might as well]
[Gene glances at the whiskey, then at his own empty glass. He seems to approve]
Warden? Yeah. But y'say that like there in't any twats in the CID.
[He leans over the bar and clicks his fingers at the barman] Oi. Luigi. Whiskey chaser. 'is tab. [He leans back and gives West an odd look] So you're an inmate?

Right. I'll meet you at the bar downstairs.

Aye aye. Look for the drop-dead-gorgeous hero in the camel hair.

DCI? Must be a Warden, then.

[He shifts uncomfortably and stares out at the bar as he takes a sip of his drink] Yeah. I've misbehaved, apparently.

[He grabs the glass from the bar, taking a sip ... then pauses]
You calling me a twat?

No, I'm not. [He shrugs and takes another sip] I just find the distinction between Wardens and Inmates to be quite arbitrary.
